If you are interested in graduate studies in insect systematics, molecular phylogenetics or population genetics please contact me to discuss potential projects or openings in my lab. 90% of my research activities are on flies in the family Phoridae in collaboration with Dr. Brian Brown, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles Co.
Graduate Students

Adam Grimes Adam is working on two conservation genetics projects. (1) population genetics of the endangered Giant kangaroo Rat, Dipodomys ingens, and (2) hybrid zone genetics of the endangered Blunt-nosed Leopard lizard, Gambelia sila. Adam is co-advised by Dr. David Germano

John Hash John is working on molecular phylogenetics of the phorid genera, Dohrniphora and Diplonevra. John is co-advised by Dr. Brian Brown.
